Done some trawling around different SEO forums and threads, and without finding any concrete proof, the consensus seems to be that Google has been rolling out rich snippet algorithms from May time (2012), and review stars (hreview markup) disappeared from home pages around June time. Coincidently around the time Google dumped the old Places listings into Google local, and redesigned their own review engine... hmmm... Rich snippet stars are alive and well on other pages, they just seem to have culled them on home pages, no doubt to abuse Shame because it looked great, worked well and the reviews were genuine... Unlike some of the site's I've seen with 2500+ 5 star reviews, which you can't see! So have now replaced our homepage stars with the author tag. No doubt this will be culled shortly... |
